About our bath repair in Elsted Marsh
Whatever the damage, the aim is the same: a repair that is smooth, sound and hard to spot. Proper preparation, careful filling and shaping, then colour and gloss matching so it’s level with the surrounding surface. Typical jobs include chips under the taps and hairline or through cracks in acrylic, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and acrylic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Metal that has corroded all the way through
- A bath that flexes because its feet or cradle have failed (that needs fixing first)
- Leaking fittings, which need a plumber

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
An acrylic bath is a moulded sheet strengthened from below. They don’t rust, but they can crack, scratch or be holed, and a crack only stays repaired if it’s supported underneath.
Pressed steel
Steel baths are lighter than cast iron, but have a similar enamel surface. Exposed steel rusts fast, especially around the waste, so repair chips early.
Common problems we fix in Elsted Marsh
Baths take more knocks than people expect: everyday items get dropped into it all the time, and taps and wastes are tightened against the surface. Over time, chips and rust spots are almost inevitable.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage done while the bathroom was being fitted
- Hairline or through cracks in acrylic
- A chip where the taps sit
- A failed DIY repair that is discoloured or lifting

What affects the price in Elsted Marsh
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes two to three hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased, and any rust is treated.
- Filler goes in and is sanded flush once it has set.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Common questions in Elsted Marsh
Can you fix rust around the plughole?
Yes, it’s one of the most common repairs we do. We take it back to sound metal, seal it, fill it and match the colour.
Will I be able to see the repair?
We aim for a repair you cannot easily find. The rest of the bath’s condition makes a difference.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How long does the repair take to cure?
Most baths can be used the following day. We confirm the time before we leave.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Make sure an acrylic bath is firm underfoot
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Protect the bath with a towel when doing jobs nearby
- Use a soft cloth and washing-up liquid for everyday cleaning
A repaired bath needs no special treatment, just sensible cleaning. Skip bleach and gritty creams and rinse after use.
Avoid standing in a cracked acrylic bath until it’s fixed. Every use opens the crack a little more, and it can start to leak underneath.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A repair makes sense whenever the damage is localised. It’s a fraction of the cost of a new bath and fitting, it’s done in one visit, and nothing else in the room changes. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
